What are the benefits of having cosmetic surgery abroad?

1. Cosmetic surgery abroad can be much cheaper

How much does plastic surgery cost in the UK? Plastic surgery, like breast enlargement, can cost up to £5,000 in the UK.

With Europe Surgery, you could save thousands.

The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) predicted that people can save between 40 and 80% on cosmetic surgery abroad rather than undergoing surgery in the UK.

2. More range of procedures with international cosmetic surgery

You might find that the work you’d like to have done isn’t available in your home country. Or, it might be the case that it is available, but you’ve found the option of having the surgery done abroad with a specialist surgeon.

It might be that there are restrictions regarding the plastic surgery in the UK. So, you prefer to travel overseas instead, where the equipment and procedure has all been approved.

3. Specialist surgeons are found abroad

If you’re paying for cosmetic surgery, you’ll want to make sure that the best and safest equipment is used under the correct procedure. You’ll also want to have the most reliable, experienced and qualified surgeon. It can be the case that the best specialist isn’t available for plastic surgery in the UK. You’d have to travel overseas.

At Europe Surgery, you don’t have to pay premium prices to get high quality surgeons, unlike in the UK. Our head surgeon, Adam Kalecinski, worked in London as a fully qualified cosmetic surgeon 2005-2018, before giving up his licence to move back to Poland and start a career here as a registered surgeon.

Popular destinations for international cosmetic surgery include Poland, Turkey and Bolivia. You can find out the benefits of choosing to have plastic surgery in Poland or Turkey.

4. Reduced waiting times abroad

Waiting times or plastic surgery in the UK can be up to a year. If you travel abroad, it can be less. So if you’re looking to arrange undergoing your operation quite quickly, it could be the better option.

5. More privacy if you travel

Are you looking to get your work done privately without people knowing about it? Consider international cosmetic surgery. Often, people will vacate overseas for surgery, and tell others they are going on holiday so they keep their privacy.

Sometimes, you can feel more privacy and after care if you get work done overseas rather than having plastic surgery in the UK too. So, make sure you do the research, and choose the country and clinic that’s going to offer you the right level of aftercare for a full recovery.

So, those are 5 benefits of going abroad and not have plastic surgery in the UK. You can find out more about the cosmetic surgery procedures we offer, based in Poland.
